All Kampala bombing suspects arrested
Ugandan authorities have arrested all the suspects connected to the two suicide attacks in Kampala last month, the army announced Thursday.
Issued on:
"We promised the public that we would hunt down the perpetrators ... We have kept our promise," James Mugira, head of military intelligence, told a press conference. "We have
apprehended all those responsible for the planning and execution of these cowardly attacks."
Mugira showed four suspects, all of whom were Ugandans, to reporters.
The Somali-based al Shebab movement claimed responsibility for the bombings which killed 76 people who were watching the football World Cup, prompting the African Union to pledge to beef up military action against the group.
